What does Salamanca smell like?

Longevity is rated strong and sillage good. Most voters suggest fall and winter, though spring is not far behind. It leans towards leisure and evening wear. Voters most often read it as masculine, followed by feminine and classic.

Leather and labdanum form the backbone, while hay and vetiver add a green, earthy edge. Tonka bean and mimosa soften the dryness, and immortelle with mitti attar brings a smoky, resinous, slightly spicy depth. The floral side stays in the background.
